Be Diligent!

Diligent is one of those English words that have a deeper meaning than at face value.

To be diligent is to be busy working and engaged in active labor.

It is to be in a constant effort to accomplish something. To be attentive and persistent in it.

Diligent in the Hebrew language can be translated as châphaώ which means to seek or search for. To find something that is hidden.

Diligent can also be translated as mâhîyr. To be eager, diligent, and determined.

The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of everyone that is hasty only to want. Proverbs 21:5

It means to be earnest or diligent. To endeavor to labor.

Hebrews 11:6 says to diligently seek the Lord.
The word used is ekzēteō which means to seek out, seek after, and seek carefully.

This is significant because the scriptures exhort us to seek after God with diligence.

When one is diligent in an effort to do something it is a spiritual principle for success.
